A bottle of wine later....

Forgive me for my post might not be very co-ordinated!

So I just got home, I'm not drunk but tipsy. Actually no not tipsy but calm and you know?!...

So i hung out with those girls, ( I hate calling them those girls but they're not exactly my friends)and I was a bad bad girl,I had a bottle of wine by myself, and that's not the bad part, the bad part is that i didn't eat the whole day so I could have enough points for my bottle of wine :S and some appies.

The food was not bad, I offered to bring the appies.
I brought "baked" chicken fingers and veggie platter, here's a pic.

Nice looking platter eh?..hehe
I think I should get a job as a veggie platter arranger or something :P

Everyone loved my chicken fingers :D

It was really fun, we brought board games to play. I took my scrabble and another chic brought cranium! Oh I loved the cranium, so may awkward and funny things to do.Twas a fun night.

On another note: I tried something today.. Home made shampoo, cause apparently pantene and all those other commercial thingies are not good for your hair especially black hair:P( it dries it out) anywho all it was, was Some olive oil mixed with eggs, apple cider vinegar and lemon..
(anyone out there have a better "recipe" for homemade shampoo)
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!
Had a horrible smell but i loved the way my hair felt after using it, it felt curlier, cleaner and softer ( or maybe it was all in my head..who knows??!!) but the thing is i was sooo worried that my hair would be smelling like raw eggs the whole day that i ended up spraying some perfume on it , which totally defeats the purpose of using "homemade shampoo".. but oh well maybe next time i wil do it at night.....

ok thats it for the tonight peeps.

The Danger of a single story

I just love watching this video over and over




She makes several good points!

One of the things.....

I will miss about being fat, are my boobies



I just did my measure meants and Ive lost 5.5inches from there . * Mad Face* see above

In loving memeory of them
I will update with a new boobie picture of me now. and my full measurements from start till date.

Heading to bed now! Nightie:)

If only..

my determination tonight could extend into other areas of my life. Man oh Man, lets just say I wont be where I am today :-) ( That is not to say im not happy with who or where I am today)

So i was too lazy to cook anything so I thought I'd just have 2 slices of garlic bread and a babybel light cheese. So since i dont have a toaster oven i thought i'd use my oven and put it on broil. easy peasy right?

So i buttered the bread with roasted garlic spread and topped with a table spoon of grated parmesan cheese and put it in the oven and kind of got carried away, and it got burnt. I'm like, oh darn! i am really hungry. oh well lets try this again, and you wont believe this but the same thing happened !!!!

and apart from the fact that I was hungry I hate wasting anything but I had to :(




At this point im really mad. and considering just giving up and having a salad ,and maybe its just a sign that I shouldn't be eating that anyway ,then i brought out my bag of salad and as i'm about to pour into the bowl, I said to my self , Noooo, you cant give up just like that. try one last time and if you burn this again then it really is a sign.haha. well this time i did it with the oven door open and standing right in front of it and tada! Dinner is served ( and being eaten at the moment)





I only hope I have this kind of determination when it comes to going to the gym , work , school etc :-)

Anybody there?

So i went to my weigh in yesterday and lost a whooping 0.4lbs..YAY!! ( read BOO).

But oh well, at least it wasn't a gain, and its not like I was 100% OP n its TOM so yeah , ill take that :). So after weigh in i went grocery shopping ( Side note: I'm trying to learn to be frugal and so far I'm succeeding I saved $22.57 yesterday by picking stuff that was on sale and the BOGO's) and bought healthy stuff ,not that i haven't been, and made my self a good dinner

Vegetable stir fry
Had it with a Cup of rice and Chicken


So i'm crossing my fingers for an OP week. Was supposed to go out to dinner today with my co-workers but changed my mind cause one, I woke up late and was very tired ( working nights this week) and two, I just dint feel like eating out so i stayed home instead and had my left over rice and stir fry from last night :)

So i have some pictures from some of the things i ate last week, and actually when i go back and look , I see why I only lost 0.4lbs

Example number 1, in this picture see how the portion of my rice is equal or maybe more than the portion of my veggies?..Bad bad... and I dint measure the rice but looks like around 1 and half cups of rice to me..whatchu think?

yay to photo tracking :)
and yeah im back to tracking on my phone:)

and then also I baked some muffin looking cup cakes...Ok when i say bake I just mean putting the Cake mix and diet coke in a bowl n mixing it together, I even forgot to add egg whites... sigh..thats how good a baker I am. but heres a picture.

I had mine with some low fat cool whip and strawberries..the cup cakes are 3 points each , a point for the cool whip and one for the strawberries .

I should add that I did NOT eat all of the cup cakes, I had a lot of help( very much welcomed) from my dearest friend :)

I don't have any solid plans for the weekend, oh except meeting up with those girls on Saturday night for some games and drinks . I am taking my scrabble along. I love scrabble even though I'm not that good at it. speaking of which my scrabble app is pissing me off i cant seem to get into it, when i try it just says updating for like 30 seconds n kicks me out, and back to my main screen. I'm mad cause i can see that I have 9 games waiting. and I'm one of those people that when I'm playing a game with someone and they don't play their turn in 24 hours i get irritated ( stupid , i know) so now I'm mad that the stupid app is making me be that person ( yeah the one that hasn't played their turn in over 24 hours) GAH!!!!!!!!

OK rant over.

Random: I'm totally obsessed with this song

Kinda reminds me of something Boys II men sang..No?
I like it all the same :)

Aii tata guys!

Im still alive..

Just been a lil bit busy??
Actually No, I haven't been that busy!
Ive just been pre-occupied! and not really on plan, I skipped my weigh-in again!
But i weighed myself at work on friday a.m and it said I was 221.4lbs, so 1.2lbs down which isn't bad for being partially on plan, but I wont update my stats till official weigh in on Tuesday.


I'm thinking of weighing in only 2 times a month, it sucks that I have to pay for the whole month though, no biggie! I guess I should clarify when I say I haven't been on plan it doesn't mean I have been eating junk NO! it just means I haven't been tracking and measuring religiously. In my head i tell myself I'm practicing for when i reach goal. cause of course im not going to track everything i eat for the rest of my life, I want to believe there will come a point in my life where it will be automatic.( i mean knowing the right amount to eat)

I am going back to the gym this week, full time.I think the break was long enough! I did go for a walk on Wednesday though, a very very long one that lasted about 2hours. and Oh I also joined the Victoria Ultimate players society ( see them here: www.vups.bc.ca) its a frisbee team, I joined it cause i hear its a lot of running around and its fun too! So yay to getting AP's and possibly meeting new people and having fun! The first practice game is on Wednesday but I cant make it , I have a prior engagement, but the next one is Wednesday the 28th, and I will definitely be there so I will keep you guys posted!

I have some pictures to upload but i'm really tired tonight and will do it maybe tomorrow??!! No promises though..

But for now here's one of me from last weekend..it was a nice day!
My friends are starting to notice the weight loss, and i'm happy and it motivates me to keep going , cause now I think , " I dont want to disappoint them" its kinda stupid cause it should be all about me but, since its giving me motivation, thats cool too!

Kitchen Mishap + a bunch of other stuff..

So I thought id try and make some soup so I don't have to cook everyday, then I will have some free time. I'm not really a big fan of soup but while I was in Prince George I went to earls an substituted the fries that was supposed to come with my meal for soup and it was beef and barley,it tasted really good, so I thought Id look for a recipe on line and try and make it. so several websites later I decided on one from Betty Crocker. it looked simple and I had everything it called for except for one thing that i was to find out almost at the end.
So I added every thing it called for celery, carrots, tomatoes, beef , can of diced tomatoes etc , then when it came time to add the beef broth i dint have any room in the crock pot then I went back and looked at the recipe only to realize that i needed a 6quart crock pot for this recipe and mines only a 3 quart one.. and i had mixed all the other stuff together i couldn't take it out and half it or anything so i decided to skip the beef broth n thought , oh well the liquid from the tomatoes will do..boy was i wrong.. so i ended up with some sort of chowder?or stew? which i have named beef and barley chowder/stew :)
and if you can get past the way it looks, it actually does taste good.. here's a picture twas still in the crock pot...
I also i think i cooked it for too long as it was starting to burn on the edges... I put it on about an hour before i went to work last night and put it off when i got back this morning..

Beef and Barley Stew or Chowder??? Cant decide


So onto another Topic,
I cant believe i missed my Dr's apointment that I waited 4 bleeping months for ..and then I forgot, I was kind of ticked off that they nevver called me the day before to remind me or call me when I dint show up. I only realized when I went to flip the month on my calendar..yeah i know its my own fault for not flipping my calendar on the 31st of march but I have to blame someone too right? O h well I will call them tomorrow morning and try and make another one for sometime this year.

So after weighed in yesterday , I was really happy and I thought I deserved a reward..tehe..I went to the liquor store ( its in the same complex as my WW meeting) and bought two bottles of white zin..Mmmmmm!!! excited for the weekend to get here. It looks like its gonna be a fun one...remember the girls I hung out with last Thursday? yeah those one.. we are thinking of hooking up again this Friday evening. will keep y'all posted.

Ok what else did I want to talk about??..Hmnn.. Im not sure if there was anyother thing I wanted to say..If it comes to me..I'll be sure to post.

So heres some things I've eaten in the past two days..

So yesterday for supper I had some left over chili that I had in my freezer from eons ago.. with Garlic bread..


Lunch was brown rice with chicken n veggies
brekkie was a WW chocolate shake.


and Today No brekkie ( worked overnight and slept till 4ish)
Lunch was the Chowder/ Stew thingy and
Supper was WW toast with Veggie Omelet.

So while typing this I am watching American Idols. And Ive noticed that I get really emotional when some one gets voted off and if they cry , I cry.. the crazy thing is I haven't been following this season that closely, but when ever I watch an episode where someone is getting voted off I get really emotional.I was talking to my friend abou it and we both came to the conclusion that its old age.lol. Just wondering if anyone out there has been getting emotional over things that dont really mean anything to them. and No its not TOM..

Ok I should go shower and get ready for work.
Tata readers..If I have any. hehe :-)

PS: Thanks to the people that are following me or read my blog..
